Bolts to fit fog lights GC
Probably one of the most boring posts ever, but I have original fog lights to fit to my MY99 WR Sport and I CANNOT find anywhere that says the correct bolts to use.
No they didn't come with any, and no my car had nice STI painted covers (no lights) until some ****** nicked them.
So I've bought M6 too big, M4 too small, M5 still too small - do they do such a thing as M5.5 or am I being crazy - anyone know the part number, before I waste another £2-£3?
Thanks

Thanks all - thats the part (010006206) yes.
So I tried the M6 I have through the holes - which yes, are well rusted, and 1 went in (with some force) so I thought i'd got it!
Next one though, bolt sheared leaving a thread in the hole - I guess it serves me right for being too impatient and buying cheap bolts (2.50 for ten)
Any tips getting a thread out of hole?

ps as you can see from my join date, I've been here a while - but because I garaged my WR Sport from 2009-2015 (time for my bolt holes to rust up!) my posting count was reset.

You'll need a decent SHARP drill and a bolt extractor.
It would have been cheaper to buy the M6 tap!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fr...6+tap&_sacat=0
You can sometimes get away with it by using a high tensile bolt, and cutting grooves down it's length, three of them, using something like a Dremel and a cutting disc.
But no standard bolt in M6 is going to with stand re-cutting a rusted up hole.

Is there much interest in Scoobys still? thinking of selling.
